This property was cozy clean and located close to many things to do and restaurants. The management company was easy to get in touch with and very helpful. Even when I made an error they were very accommodating and kind. Couldn't have ask for more. Great stay.

The house needs a deep cleaning and some updates. Pictures on-line are quite dated now.

During our stay, we encountered a few issues, but the property managers were prompt in addressing some of them, such as inadequate toilet paper supply (she helped us locate at least 1/3 of a roll). Unfortunately, cleanliness was an ongoing concern (such as the nightstands, bathroom shower, and the condition of the couch). Additionally, the backyard also posed some hazards with cigarette butts, shards of glass, and rusty metal sticking out of the ground. The grille outside was dirty and unusable, with old burger patties still in it. The neighborhood also left something to be desired. Despite these drawbacks, the location served its purpose and was conveniently central to our activities. Overall, while the experience was mixed, it got the job done for our stay.

The house was clean and comfortable. Perfect location in the historic district. Was less than a mile from convention center which was ideal. Will definetly try to book here again when in town.

Instead of 2 hotel rooms adjoined my adult children and I stayed here and it was the perfect size for us

Everything was perfect for a 3-5 day stay. Convenient location to Fort Benning. The walk to old downtown was great. Make sure you try Mabellas! The house is located near a busy street that took some getting used to the first night but overall great experience for our needs

Home is very charming with a ton of character! My husband I and stayed here for a weekend with our 2 sons.
First the pros - very convenient location was the highlight! We really loved being so close to downtown. Has off street parking and the back deck is very private. Charming original hardwood floors in main section of the home- lots of character with very high ceilings through the entire home. The bedrooms were as advertised in the photos. Laundry was very convenient. The house was well cleaned in most of the highly-used spaces.
The cons - the neighborhood was a bit transitional (some very well kept, some more sketchy), the kitchen was so-so in supplies (lots of plates but only 1 usable bowl, not very many cups), dishwasher was extremely loud. The home could use a good deep cleaning (higher fixtures and drapes were very dusty) and the couch was very stained. It was fairly noisy at night with road noise and music which was not an issue for us but might be for some.
Overall, I’d stay here again with its great location.

This property is old and is located in a very run-down section of Columbus. The sofa is full of stains and was disgusting to look at, much less sit on. The beds were not properly made and were full of small flying bugs. My daughter started crying shortly after we arrived. We left after about an hour of our arrival. It was too disgusting to stay at.
8.0 / 10.0
It was very nice being able to stay at a house and visit with our soldier and not a hotel room. We were able to bring our dog and that made things so much easier as well! It was an easy trip to Ft. Benning and that helped.

The home was great town had lots to offer. We made some great memories there. And my grandson graduated boot camp . Would recommend it to my friends and the white water rafting was excellent

Great house but not the historic section you would think.
Didn’t know it was next door to a drive through package store and bar. Very loud at night but loved the house. Back porch is a hazard with kissing rotten boards. Served my purpose of seeing my military son.

Columbus Cottage
The house was adorable, very clean and well decorated. We didn't spend a lot of time there as we were in Columbus to see the Georgia Girls Softball Championship tournament. The house is conveniently located to the softball complex.
I do have to add one negative, not about the house, but the supplies that I am accustomed to seeing in a VRBO. There was toilet paper in one bathroom but not in the second. We couldn't find an extra roll anywhere. There was was no shower gel or bath soap provided, so we used the liquid hand soap for our showers. Also, there was no kitchen garbage bag provided so we gathered up our garbage into a box we had brought with us. The rental agreement stated that the homeowner provides only an initial starter kit, which may be a discrepancy between their understanding and mine.
Overall, it was a comfortable stay for the short time we were there.

Great property!
We had an amazing stay here! The property was just as described-very comfortable and the location was perfect for our visit for our son's graduation from Ranger School.

Almost perfect
The check-in process was simple. However, I asked and never received a response about the check-out process. One thing that should absolutely be considered is a clean-up of the backyard and an updated/safe deck with useable furniture. The chairs are quite rusty. We couldn't use the backyard at all. It is so overgrown and there are leaves everywhere. Also, in the write-up it's mentioned that this is a 3BR place when it only has 2BR. Also, some TLC in the bathroom off of the kitchen would help. The shower head leaks and so does the toilet. I really like the house....but it does need some TLC in those areas mentioned above.

Comfy, cozy, chic
Such a cute and comfy little house. The place was spotless and staged very well with thought and consideration really put into it. The fenced in backyard was a nice addition as well. The property managers went out of their way to make sure my stay went well.
